You appear to actually be defending the peanut-brained idiot. It is the job of a list administrator to tell the real messages from the fakes. If the administrator in question cannot do this for some reason, then he should resign from his position and turn the job over to someone who can. If no on else is available who will take the job, then there is so little interest that it might be time to kill the list. The fracprogrammers list sends about 1 message per week. This is certainly not too much traffic for a single person to monitor. If the poor wretch truly is unaware of the situation or can do nothing about it, then he should crawl into a corner, stick his thumb in his mouth, start crying, and consider himself unfortunate indeed. And if you are trying to tell me that there may be hundreds of infected computers out there distributing spam and viruses in my name, and the owners of these computers don't even know that their machines are infected, then I would say that the entire internet system is broken, and I had best stop using it until it is fixed. If it can't be fixed, then to hell with technology. We would do better by communicating with mental telepathy, and now is the time to start learning how to do it. (Yes, I am aware of how the various viruses, worms, etc. work. That's why I'm so annoyed.) None of my machines has ever been infected by an electronic virus. And I'm no cyber-genius. I open all my e-mail in text mode. I never open e-mail attachments unless they are obviously legitimate jobs in proper format from known customers. This is very simple. There is no excuse for being infected. I am certainly not going to change my e-mail address after 8 years. In fact, if I am irritated just one more time, I just might quit the internet entirely. I have posted the FOTD nearly every day for the past 6-1/3 years. I have done this because it has been fun. If it stops being fun and becomes an ongoing irritation . . . who knows . . . maybe I'll buy a chicken farm and start raising chickens. Jim M.

I suppose that you all might know this, but worms such as "so-big" "Klez" etc... raid other peoples mailboxes and send messages to, and apparently FROM those folks... So all it takes is some who has (lets say) "Jim Muth" in their mailbox, and suddenly the virus on kluelessloser's machine is spamming everyone in the name of Jim Muth... and they dont even know their machine is infected... the list bot cannot tell that it is not the REAL Jim Muth, or his real Domain.... I'd agree that it is annoying to have messages bounced back to you, or get unsubscribed... but if I was the list administrator I'm not sure i could tell the real messages from the spoofed ones... so just grin, and bare it ( * ) (resume lurk) H^) harry

FOTD 24-08-03 (A Fractal Oddity [4])
by Jim Muth 24 Aug '03

24 Aug '03

FOTD -- August 24, 2003 (Rating 4) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image was found logically and automatically, with almost no intuitive or creative input or inspiration. Thus, it rates only an indistinguished 4. I started with the Mandelbrot set, found a midget in a seven-pointed star on the northwest shore, and rotated the midget through several fourth-dimensional direc- tions until it lost all resemblance to its original appearance. The result appears as today's image, which is named "A Fractal Oddity", mostly because it is sliced at an odd oblique angle through the Julibrot. Any resemblance between today's twisted, stretched hole and a Mandelbrot midget is purely coincidental. But the image does illustrate that the things we call midgets are far more complex than their usually-observed Mandelbrot and Julia aspects would indicate. The low rating of today's image is partly offset by the very fast render time of 2 minutes. And the image is also available on the internet, virus-free, at the web sites of Paul and Scott at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> and at: <http://sdboyd.dyndns.org/~sdboyd/fotd/index.html> Saturday was one of those rare days in August here at Fractal Central, with deep blue skies, puffy white cumulus clouds, a gentle north wind, a temperature of 82F 28C, and low humidity. The dynamic fractal cats behaved like aging angels, (do angels grow old), romping in the yard and enjoying the near-perfect conditions. At one time Thomas actually chased Tippy up a tree. It's nice to know that the old guy can still climb if he needs to. My own mood was also much improved as I put the annoying graphic work behind me, enjoyed the fine weather, and was kicked off no more mailing lists. Today is starting even better than yesterday. Could it possibly be an even better day? The fractal certainly could be a better one. Check back here in 24 hours to see how things work out. Until then, take care, and enjoy life when things go well, but endure life when they don't.

FOTD 23-08-03 (Fractals-101 [3])
by Jim Muth 23 Aug '03

23 Aug '03

FOTD -- August 23, 2003 (Rating 3) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: It was a bad day Friday here at Fractal Central, with a broken air-conditioner and complaining customers. I finally got the work problems behind me in the evening, though it was nature that supplied the cool air. Unfortunately, the letter from the fracprogrammers list appeared with its 'you have been unsub- scribed' notice at exactly the right moment to act as the target for the frustration that had been building all day. After my outburst, I settled down and found a fractal. I looked exactly where someone just beginning their exploration in the world of fractals might look -- along the main stem of the Mandelbrot set, deep in the East Valley of the large midget. I did make a slight change however -- I double rotated the scene 45 degrees before starting my exploration. Surprisingly, the rotation makes little difference in the image that appears on the screen, though the larger midget in whose East Valley it appears, as well as the appearance of the M-set itself, have been totally changed. I named the image "Fractals-101", since such images serve as an introduction to the world of fractals. The rating of a below- average 3 might be a bit harsh, but I'm disappointed with myself for blasting the list administrator, who is probably not respon- sible for sending the notice, and I feel I deserve no better a rating. There is certainly nothing lacking with the render time, which at less than 1-1/2 minutes is probably less time than it will take to download the completed GIF image from: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> or from: <http://sdboyd.dyndns.org/~sdboyd/fotd/index.html> Friday, with a temperature of 95F 35C, was very hot and humid here at Fractal Center, especially indoors when the cool air stopped working. In the evening, a spectacular but harmless rain and lightning storm arose and cooled things down to 70F 21C. The fractal cats spent the entire afternoon outdoors, lurking in the shade of the holly trees, and venturing inside only when the thunder began. They must have sensed my bad mood. Today promises to be much better. My mood can be only better. The next FOTD, which should also be better, will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and hope for the best.

Weirdness in v20.02.5?
by David Jones 23 Aug '03

23 Aug '03

I have a Disk 'Video' mode set up as: ,Disk/RAM 'Video',3,0,0,0,11,2048,1536,256 But when I generate fractals using it, they always come out at 1024x768. At the same time, I have a similar mode setup for 2048x2048: AF6,Disk/RAM 'Video',3,0,0,0,11,2048,2048,256 And that one generates a properly-sized image. What am I doing wrong, or is this something in the version of Fractint (20.2.05) that I'm using? David gnome(a)hawaii.rr.com

Re: You have been removed from the list
by JimMuth＠aol.com 23 Aug '03

23 Aug '03

When I opened my e-mail box 1/2 hour ago, I found the following message from the Fracprogrammers list. This list generates so little traffic that I had almost forgotten that I was sub- scribed. After a long, dragged-out and irritating day, the letter caught me in just the wrong mood, and I am really fuming. This time I shall not count to 10 before posting. BEGIN MESSAGE FRAGMENT FROM FRACPROGRAMMERS LIST============ >Your mail address jamth(a)mindspring.com has been removed from the >fracprogrammers-list(a)terindell.com mailinglist. It generated an >excessive amount of bounced mails. >Before sending in a subscription request to fracprogrammers-list- >request(a)terindell.com again, please ensure that this problem has >been resolved. When in doubt, ask your system administrator or >send mail to "postmaster". END MESSAGE FRAGMENT======================================== System administrator, whoever you are: In reply, I would suggest that you (the 'system administrator'), should resolve *YOUR* problem instead of trying to shuffle the responsibility onto me. Don't try to blame worms or viruses or spammers. Don't say that the message was generated automatical- ly. Don't blame equipment failure. Don't say you are too busy. Making excuses such as these merely confirms your own deficien- cies and justifies my anger. Stand up like a man and accept your responsibility. If the list had been run properly, this would not have happened. I have not posted a message to the fracprogrammers list for several years, though I lurk constantly. A quick search of the meager archives will reveal no messages from me. It is absurd to accuse me of posting through the fracprogrammers list gibberish messages with questionable attachments to non-existent addresses when I have not posted a thing since 1998. By this letter, I do not mean to imply that you are a shamefully poor administrator; I mean to state it outright, with no possibil- ity of being mis-understood. Until you assure me that *you* have solved *your* problem with running the list, I have no intention of re-subscribing. When the problem has been solved, contact me, explain the steps that have been taken, and I might consider re-subscribing. If this letter has offended you, contact me privately and I'll see if I can do anything to help you control your anger. And despite my harsh words, I do sympathize with you, for I do realize how humiliating it is to have one's deficiencies made public. Awaiting your sincere apology and corrective measures: Jim M. (If I'm wrong, I'll say I'm sorry.)

FOTD 22-08-03 (Only One Surprise [6])
by Jim Muth 22 Aug '03

22 Aug '03

FOTD -- August 22, 2003 (Rating 6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: I heard two interesting rumors yesterday. Rumor number 1 is that Microsoft is using Linux!!! on its web servers to protect them from worms and hacker attacks. Rumor number 2 is that the world of fractals is filled with surprises. I don't know about rumor number 1, but rumor 2 is certainly correct. I have discovered many surprising things in the 16 or so years I have been exploring the fractal world. Fractal trees, one of which appears in today's image, are only one of these surprises. The trees lurk in and near the Julia sets of the Julibrots with an exponent of Z between 1 and 2. The orientation of today's image lies 0.65 degree from the Julia direction, and the expo- nent is 1.5, making the conditions perfect for the generation of fractal trees. Since the 'tree' in today's image is but one of an infinity of similar trees in the vicinity, I named the image "Only One Surprise". I rated the final result at a 6, which is just slightly above average. BTW, perhaps the greatest fractal surprise of all came when I discovered that there are two ways in which the Z^2+C Julibrot can be sliced to give a perfect Mandelbrot set, and the second M-set has twice the area of the more familiar classic set. But that's a story for another day. Right now, it's time to give the good news that today's image renders in less than 3 minutes from the parameter file, and the equally good news that the finished GIF image is available on the W.W.Web at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> and at: <http://sdboyd.dyndns.org/~sdboyd/fotd/index.html> Typical summer heat and humidity with ample sun and a tempera- ture of 90F 32C gave the fractal duo a pleasant day Thursday in the shadier parts of the yard. By the time the end of the day came, they had worn themselves out, and came indoors to eat with no coaxing. Today promises to be a repeat, with the chance of showers added. We'll see how it goes. It will go well for me if I finish the day's work without any unexpected problems. (Such as a call complaining that I sent a job in CMYK instead of grey scale, from a customer who for some reason could not convert the file.) Regardless of any problems, I shall return in 24 hours with more fractal goodies and a few words of wisdom. Until then, take care, and be advised that one person's wisdom can be another person's kookiness.

FOTD 21-08-03 (Wicked Screensaver [5])
by Jim Muth 22 Aug '03

22 Aug '03

FOTD -- August 21, 2003 (Rating 5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: WARNING . . . the first four paragraphs are an off-topic rant. Spam is one thing, but when I opened my e-mail box last evening after a 3-day absence, I found over 750 spams, many with a 70KB attachment waiting to be downloaded. Since I have a slow dial-up connection, each attachment takes almost one minute to download. A simple bit of math will show that the total download will take close to 12 hours to complete, and the new junk is arriving almost as fast as I can download it. Needless to say I am rather annoyed. REMAINING 3 PARAGRAPHS OF RANT DELETED . . . I counted to 10. Today's hastily found image combines Z^(-7.7) and Z^(-1.1). Much of the image consists of 'inside' parts made visible by the 'epsiloncross' inside fill. The name, "Wicked Screensaver" was inspired, if it can be called inspiration, by the subject line of many of the spam e-mails. I didn't give much thought to rating the image, so the rating of an average 5 will have to do. The render time of 16 minutes can be cut drastically by letting Paul and Scott render the image and downloading it from their web sites at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> <http://sdboyd.dyndns.org/~sdboyd/fotd/index.html> After being indoors for two days, the fractal cats were quite eager for the brief spell in the yard they had when I returned late Wednesday afternoon. They grew grouchy when I brought them in too soon. Since I was already grouchy, we all sulked together. This morning is starting very warm, and my e-mail box is once again stuffed with over 300 worthless letters. While down- loading and deleting, I'll get some real work done on another machine. Until tomorrow, when I may be in a better mood, take care, and don't lose your cool.
